Description de l'ouvrage :
A celebration of the wildest and weirdest that action cinema has to offer, the hosts of the Really Awful Movies podcast take you on a fun-filled pilgrimage through the nuttiest movies in the genre. Traversing both decades and continents, these 100 titles reach beyond the typical patron saints of action, giving unsung genre heroes like Vic Diaz, Reb Brown, and Godfrey Ho their due. Our intrepid hosts have highlighted action gems with all of the necessary components for greatness: Heroes! Villains! Henchmen! But something’s typically missing. Usually, it’s a budget. Often, it’s talent. But that doesn’t mean these films aren’t as entertaining as any mainstream fare. Divided into nine chapters by subgenre, featuring stills and posters, and with a foreword by genre icon Brian Trenchard-Smith, Mine’s Bigger Than Yours is a romp through the world of fisticuffs, jailbreaks, pit fighting, mercenaries, and really big explosions—all the stuff that makes action movies great.

Neo Trash Video

The Action Elite

3rd Strike

"A fun encyclopedia of bad action movies."
Vents Magazine

"A great, snarky tone that both makes fun of and celebrates the ridiculous nature of the movies featured."
Everything Action

"Lombardo and Kirschner offer a pretty in-depth recap of all the films that includes a lot of jokes, witticisms, and verbosity."
Cultsploitation

"...an original and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, professional, community, college, and university library Film History collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists."
Midwest Book Review

"Lombardo and Kirshner are extremely funny, and while they don't love (or even like) every movie written about in these pages, their genuine love for this genre and these movies is evident."
